Update, 10:57 a.m. Both lanes of I-83 that were closed last night have re-opened this morning, PennDOT said.

Spokesman Greg Penny said the contractor finished last night's work early. There are a few patches in the right lanes that still need to be taken care of, but that work will be done later, Penny said in a news release.

Repairs to Interstate 83 in the York area will start tonight at 9 p.m., according to the state Department of Transportation.

The left lane of I-83 will be closed in both directions in the vicinity of Loucks Mill Road. This is between exits 19 (Market Street) and 21 (Route 30).

The single-lane traffic restrictions are needed so that crews can make concrete patch repairs to the decks of the bridges over the Codorus Creek, Loucks Mill Road and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, according to PennDOT. All three bridges are within a short distance of each other.

The crews also will replace expansion joints in the bridge deck over Loucks Mill Road, PennDOT says.
